A so-called prepayment method in which a card on which monetary information corresponding to the purchase price is written using magnetic information or other means is purchased in advance with cash, and the amount written on the card decreases each time a vending machine is used; When a vending machine is used with a card, the amount used is stored in the vending machine, and the card holder is required to pay the accumulated usage amount for each card stored in the vending machine at predetermined intervals in a so-called deferred payment method. There is.

In the case of the above-mentioned prepayment method, since cash is received in advance, there is no possibility that the usage amount cannot be recovered, but there is a possibility of fraudulent usage by falsifying the amount information written on the card. For this reason, in the prepayment system, the shape of the card is usually broken, such as by punching a hole, depending on the amount spent. Therefore, special cards are generally used in advance payment systems.

For example, one possible method is to store a list of fraudulent cards in the vending machine and check for fraudulent cards.
In general, the amount of this list of fraudulent cards is enormous, and therefore there is a problem that storage devices built into vending machines become expensive. On the other hand, since the list of fraudulent cards is frequently added and updated, automatic processing is performed each time. One fraudulent card must be added and updated for each vending machine.

The product carry-out drive unit 8 is driven, and the desired product among the products stored in the product storage and carry-out unit 9 is carried out. After the products are taken out, the microprocessor 1 prints out the list of sold products on the restructuring printer 7, and this list is stored in the vending machine. Further, sales amount information is added to the card information registered in the registered card storage unit 4 corresponding to the user's card,
From then on, the sales amount will be added each time you use the vending machine. Then, the list of sold products (product sales record) and the sales amount for each card (separately printed out on a printer based on commands from the operation panel 6) will be processed for payment on a predetermined date. used. Payment can be made by regular credit card payments, or if the vending machine is operated in a limited area, the vending machine operator may request payment from the user. Payment methods vary depending on the form.

By the way, even if the card is stolen, the person who obtained the card cannot misuse it because it is unknown in which vending machine the card can be used. On the other hand, even if a counterfeit card is created, the registered card information (for example, card number) is limited, so it is difficult to guess the number. As described above, the vending machine according to the present invention provides sufficient security measures.

Further, since the users of the above-mentioned vending machine are generally limited to those who have some kind of relationship with the area where the vending machine is installed, the storage capacity of the registered card storage unit 4 can be small. Furthermore, during a predetermined period (e.g., half a year),
If the card information is deleted when the card is not used for a predetermined amount or more, the registered card storage section 4 can be effectively utilized. Note that the above-mentioned condition that the users are limited to a certain area is similar to the condition that a vending machine is operated only within a certain business establishment, so the present invention can be implemented in a vending machine within a business establishment.
